A test of know-why

Testing thyself
where you have never vamoosed
when you search for something
not quite branded
frustrated your ancient ancestors
yearning for wisdom-enlightenment
they did not get it
in your mind's blind-sightedness
by your own presumption
only to realize too late
that you could not know
that the chain in your genes
ironed you to the same ignorance
of whatever you
thought you could avoid
but sadly did not.


"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.” Plato.
